We are pleased to announce the release of the Windows Server 2008 RC1 WDK is now available for download on Connect. This WDK beta release to Connect coincides with the recent OS beta release for Windows Server 2008 RC1. Please take a few moments to install the newest WDK build and test as applicable for your needs. As always, please file bugs as quickly and as detailed as possible.

In this WDK release, the WDK is delivering the latest updates to build drivers for Server 2008 and earlier platforms since the release of Vista almost a year ago.

A few highlights in this release are:
. UMDF and KMDF co-installers are now available for down-level platforms.
. Additional WDF samples have been added, including one to support the examples in Developing Drivers with the Windows Driver Foundation.
. The new Inf2Cat signing tool replaces Signability, providing support for Server 2008

This release is available as a download only. The image posted is a DVD image and the recommended approach is to download and burn a DVD.

Thank you for your continued support!
